Downtown Alert

Downtown Tucson Partnership frequently receives advisories including traffic alerts and other important community news that could affect workers, residents and visitors in Downtown Tucson.

Scott Avenue Road Closure

Monday, June 22

Scott Avenue between Congress Street and Broadway Boulevard will be closed to through traffic from approximately 6:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. on Monday, June 22, to allow a large crane to lift materials onto the roof of a nearby building.

Access to the Federal Courthouse on Scott Avenue will be maintained during the closure. The Sun Link streetcar will not be impacted and will operate as normal.

Church Avenue Closure Update

Beginning Monday, June 15, 2026

Crews will begin construction of the median island at Church Avenue and Franklin Street.

Traffic Impacts:

  • Eastbound travel on Church Avenue from 6th Street will be closed.
  • Westbound travel on Church Avenue will remain open.
  • This traffic control will be in place 24 hours a day, 7 days a week through early July.

The closure is necessary to allow crews to safely complete the median construction while maintaining traffic flow.

Please note that the intersection of Church Avenue and Franklin Street remains fully closed due to ongoing water utility improvements. Both projects are expected to be completed concurrently, and once finished, the roadway will reopen in its permanent configuration.

Additionally, the new traffic signal at Church Avenue and 6th Street will be activated beginning Monday, June 15.

Thank you for your patience as these improvements are completed.
